Who is

Lady Burra

Elizabeth Lilian Oliver (Lady Burra) was born 20 April 1848, in the Kooringa Creek dugouts of Burra in South Australia. Her life was a tumultuous ride from start to finish. This quickly became apparent after flash floods took the family’s creek bed home along with all possessions and her father’s snap decision to uproot and chase the allure of gold in Ballarat.
